Where pea gravel earns its place around Beaverton

The smooth, tan and mixed-color stones run roughly a quarter to three-eighths of an inch, small enough to feel comfortable underfoot and large enough that they do not blow around or pack into mud. In a city with a wet winter, that loose, free-draining texture matters.

• Patios and seating areas: a firm, forgiving surface around a fire pit or bistro set.
• Dog runs and kennel floors: easy to rinse, and gentler on paws than crushed rock.
• Playground bases: a soft top layer over a compacted sub-base.
• Garden paths: a clean line between beds that keeps shoes out of the wet soil.
• Drainage trenches: around downspouts and French drains, where water needs somewhere to go.

Pea gravel suits foot traffic and light use.

What to know about this material

Because the stones are rounded, they do not lock together the way crushed rock does. Plan an edge, such as steel, stone or timber, to hold the surface in place, and lay landscape fabric underneath if you want weeds to stay down.

Because the stones stay loose, the surface needs a little upkeep. Rake it level every so often, especially along walking lines where stone gets pushed aside, and top it up when thin patches show the soil or fabric below. Pea gravel is forgiving in that way: a bare spot is fixed with a few shovelfuls rather than a full rebuild. Keep it clear of lawn edges, since stray stones can damage a mower blade, and sweep any that land on a patio or step back into the bed.

For a Beaverton pea gravel order, the stone goes by the ton, with 2 tons as the smallest load.

How much pea gravel you need

In Beaverton, begin by measuring the footprint of the area. For a Beaverton pea gravel bed, multiply length by width in feet, then by depth in inches, and divide by 324 to reach cubic yards. One cubic yard of pea gravel weighs about 2,800 pounds, so multiply the yards by 1.4 to get tons. A 10 by 12 foot patio laid 3 inches deep comes to about 1.1 cubic yards, or roughly 1.6 tons, which rounds up to the 2 ton minimum.

Skip the math for a Beaverton pea gravel job by opening the calculator and entering your dimensions. Most decorative layers run 2 to 3 inches, while a thin top dressing can be less. Round up a little rather than ordering a second small load later.

Pair it with other materials

Pea gravel often goes in alongside planting work. Mulch fills the beds beside a gravel path, and Premium Screened Topsoil builds up the planting areas the path runs through. Mulch is sold by the cubic yard, while topsoil and pea gravel are sold by the ton, so check the unit on each product page before you add them together.

About Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is a rounded, water-worn stone in the quarter to three-eighths inch range, with a tan and mixed color that blends easily into most yards. The smooth faces make it comfortable to walk on and easy to rake level, and the gaps between stones let rain pass straight through to the ground below.

It is sold by the ton here. A cubic yard weighs about 2,800 pounds, and a ton is 2,000 pounds, so one ton covers a bit less than three quarters of a cubic yard. That is useful when you compare it with a material sold by the yard.

The stones stay loose rather than locking together, so give the area a firm edge and a compacted base. Spread it two to three inches deep for paths and patios, and top it up every year or two as it settles and migrates.
